Meet Chelsea’s New Live Music Spot

Which of the following will you not find at Chelsea’s shiny new Meridian 23?A)
fresh-juice-based cocktails
B) a solid neighborhood vibe
C) weird-looking masks on the wall
D) large amounts of people getting down to Afro-pop and jazz

Paul Smith, 75% Off. Yep.

There’s a suit out there. An incredibly dapper British suit. And it’s lonely. It’s just sitting there
in SoHo, waiting to be appreciated. Waiting to be put on. Waiting for you. It’s at the Paul Smith sample
sale. Don’t let it down.

Saturday

WU’S THERE?

Wu-Tang and Beer on a Brooklyn Rooftop

Well, this is intriguing: there’s a pop-up gallery of Wu-Tang-inspired mixed-media art happening Saturday.
And this might make it intriguing-er: it’s happening on a rooftop and there’s a beer tasting. The whole
shebang’s called Meat MRKT, and it’s for the children.

Sunday

HAVE MERCI

Brunch, French-Style

Chicane desperately wants to show you how good they are at making brioche french toast. In fact, they
started an entire brunch operation to do so. The toast comes with blueberries and kiwi-Chartreuse jam, and
will doubtless attract smoky-eyed French expats yearning for a cigarette. Brioche has that effect on ’em.

What Else Is New

AND NOW...

World-Class Noodles + Beer on a Patio

If you like noodles: The sexy new Tribeca Japanese spot Daruma-Ya (pictured) uses a
ridiculously elaborate process to make their soba. Mmm... process.If you like beer outside: You can say yes just this once to going to Kips Bay, where Albion
(from the Drop Off Service guys) now exists.
